Upload and manage item images
About item images
Product images are a key element of a successful business, especially of an eCommerce website. Adding images also helps improve the checkout experience for your staff and customers. Add product images to your item library, and use Square's bulk tooling features to make uploading images easier. Images are visible on the point of sale when staff are ringing up customers, and when customers browse on your Square Online website.
Before you begin
You have two options for uploading item images:
Manage images from the Square Dashboard on a laptop or desktop computer
Manage images from your point of sale app and devices
Keep in mind the following requirements and recommendations when uploading images:
Square supports the following file types for item images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF.
Images can be up to 15MB.
We recommend at least 2000 x 2000 pixels with a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Images uploaded to your item catalog will sync across your point of sale app and devices, and Square Online.
